The Minister of Education recently challenged the BEC to get in order or the Act will have to be changed. Since most of the members of the BEC were off island, they were not able to respond at that time to the Minister’s request.
However, since last week, the Interim BEC has been working on getting the BEC up and running.The BEC is the licensing body for educators wishing to teach in Bermuda. Last year, the entire committee resigned.
The Interim BEC will meet with the island registered license holders tomorrow, September 12, 2012 at 4:15 at the Ruth Seaton James Auditorium. It focus, to update teachers on the progress made and if possible, solicit for persons interested in becoming members of the BEC.

More Beauracratic tape to nix progress.. A teacher that is registered is not necessarily a good teacher. These rules and regulations are more strangling than ever,.. Teachers should still be based on performance in class,(test results of students, general student performances) not registry, same with Nurses, Doctors ect..Just because one gets registered only makes them legal, not capable.
Thouroughbred, you are clearly not an educator. This is similar to the issue currently in Chicago. When you try to base teacher’s performance on stadardized test results, teachers will teach to the test. This will not teach students enduring skills they need for the real world. This is just like saying because I passed my driving test I’m a good driver. The best instructors are those who teach you the merits and demerits of driving, not merely get you to pass a test.
Savvy. Can’t tell you I agree with what is discussed, but that’s just my personal viewpoint.
All round I quite like it!
